We unlock the potential within our clients through an innovative process that combines a neuroscience framework with proven behavioral modifiers including mindfulness practices. We are passionate about empowering people to be their best selves throughout their lives, not just inside their offices.

Our methods are rooted in science and proven in practice.

Our Process

At SparkShift, we combine the neuroscience of leadership and conditioned behavior with strategies for change, creating custom coaching and development programs that inspire immediate action while manifesting long-term.

A key aspect of our work is the practice of mindfulness. The primary tool in cultivating self-awareness, mindfulness is the act of paying attention to our thoughts, emotions, sensations, and the impact our behaviors have on others. By training our minds to pause and observe, we are able to drive a wedge between behavioral ‘triggers’ and habituated responses, creating a window in which we can make more deliberate and thoughtful choices.

Our clients experience transformational changes that result in more impactful work - improving their life, providing greater purpose, and bettering the lives of those around them.

Executive Coaching

Anyone can be a manager, but achieving transformative results requires true leadership. Leaders have vision, rely on adaptive and strategic thinking, empower their people in pursuit of a shared purpose, and take accountability for the outcome. At SparkShift, we unlock your leadership potential. Through a series of assessments, exercises, and interviews, we uncover the behaviors that are inhibiting peak performance, we pinpoint areas for development, and we work with you in crafting a customized action plan that is measurable, sustainable, and simple.

Organization and Team Development

An organization’s purpose is to innovate and grow, but most conventional strategies for innovation and growth fail to hit the mark. Ineffective leadership fuels unhealthy competition and a lack of shared vision and purpose breeds fear and insecurity. At SparkShift, we work with organizations to unearth what is inhibiting their teams in reaching their true potential. By creating an environment where trust is extended and connection is second nature, we enable healthy disruption and shared vision, driving innovation, pushing progress, and bringing real results.

Workshops

One small shift can be the spark that leads to a more fulfilling life. Through our ShiFT workshops, participants learn to identify the behaviors that are preventing them from living their best life. At corporations, nonprofits, conferences, and educational institutions, we reveal the science behind why we do the things we do, how our brains hold us back, and how we can rewire ourselves to live bigger, better, and more authentic lives. By guiding participants through simple yet powerful mindfulness exercises that cultivate greater self-awareness, we provide a concrete process for shifting towards your true potential.
